Turn off terminal entry line prefix/header

enter image description here

How do I fix this? I don't want to change my server name I just want to customize the text here (no server name, still shows path/user). Also what's this section of the terminal window called?

The Terminal Entry line prefix is called the shell prompt.

You can generally find the current config by typing

echo $PS1

That returned this for me: [\e]0;\u@^C\w\a]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$

So I was able to remove the "@\h" in both locations and get the desired tag.

export PS1="\[\e]0;\u: \w\a\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u:\w\$ "

leaving me with "root:/kliq$'
